Vision2030

Empowering a Nation with a Global Impact

  • Being one of the top 15 economies in the world!

    Being one of the top 15 economies in the world!

    The Public Investment Fund (PIF)  was founded with the purpose “Elevate the Kingdom, Uplift the World!” And we believe in this statement. As the official investment arm of the Kingdom, the program aims, as one of Vision2030’s Realization Programs, to diversify the Kingdom’s economy away from oil while also supporting the world’s most impactful solutions. 30% of the fund’s Assets Under Management are currently in international firms.

    As the biggest sovereign investment fund in the world, the program truly aims at uplifting the whole world by sustainably investing in 13 strategic sectors.

  • Increasing Direct Foreign Investment contribution to GDP from 3.8% to 5.7%

    Increasing Direct Foreign Investment contribution to GDP from 3.8% to 5.7%

    To achieve this goal, the government has implemented significant changes to the company incorporation process. The aim is to rank among the top 20 governments in the world in government effectiveness and top 5 in e-government services. The Ministry of Investment and other government institutions work together to facilitate the establishment of foreign companies as quickly as possible.

    To support the growth of foreign investment, the government has also invested heavily in infrastructure and digitization. As a result, the Kingdom offers highly competitive energy rates and a resilient supply chain that is difficult to match globally. The Private Investment Fund (PIF) and the wider private sector are seen as crucial partners in driving the success of the Kingdom’s economy.

  • 3 Saudi cities to be of the top 100 cities in the world in the Quality of Life indices

    3 Saudi cities to be of the top 100 cities in the world in the Quality of Life indices

    The Quality of Life Program is also one of the Realization Programs for Vision2030. It aims at uplifting the quality of life for the individuals and families through the creation of the appropriate environment and availing the options that promote the contribution of the citizens, residents and visitors in the cultural, entertaining, sportive and touristic activities in a way that increases the quality of life, generates job opportunities, diversifies the economy, and puts 3 Saudi cities in the top 100 cities in the world on the different indices measuring the Quality of Life.

    The program focuses on 2 major objectives:

    1. Increasing the standard of living in Saudi cities through; developing the cities’ infrastructure, offering comprehensive services, and changing behaviors.
    2. Developing and enriching the lifestyle through; creating the necessary infrastructures for a more vivid and active lifestyle, availing enough high quality options and encouraging the contribution of the inhabitants in the policy making, city development and a diverse and continued flow of activities and events.
  • Education is the first priority

    Education is the first priority

    The Vision is built on 3 major pillars; the first one is a Vibrant Society. The cornerstone to this society is a citizen who is globally competitive and responsibly enabled. That is why the Human Capability Development Program was introduced with 3 strategic pillars; developing a resilient educational base, preparing for future local and global labor markets, and providing lifelong learning opportunities. The program covers all phases of the human capability development journey from early childhood to lifelong learning. 

    Saudi Arabia is also one of the highest countries in spending on education per capita. The education budget for 2023 is 189bn SAR; which is equivalent to 16.9% of the total budget of the year.

  • Reach Carbon Neutrality by 2060

    Reach Carbon Neutrality by 2060

    Sustainability has been at the heart of Vision2030 since its inception. Saudi Arabia is now ushering in a new era as the Kingdom aims to reach Net Zero by 2060. Our planet’s sustainability is taken seriously by the government and the Saudi people. That is why the PIF has recently acquired 9.5% stake in Skyborn Renewables and has previously acquired shares at AquaPower to focus the Kingdom’s consumption of power on renewable energy by 2030. That comes in hand with a mandate in waste management to increase landfill diversion rate to 82% by 2035.

    The Kingdom is also committed to the goals of sustainability in its new and ambitious projects, such as NEOM and The Line city and the restoration of biodiversity in many parts of the Kingdom including the Red Sea Project and the ancient cultural heritage site AlUla. Saudi Arabia is undergoing a radical transformation like no other.

How Vision 2030 and MISA are encouraging foreign companies to land in the Kingdom?

There are significant changes to the process of company incorporation in the Kingdom for foreign investors to make it easier for international companies to relocate and operate from Saudi Arabia. These changes come along with programs and initiatives launched by the Ministry of Investment under the umbrella of Vision2030 including:

Icon Icon
01

100% foreign ownership

The Ministry of Investment has enabled the ownership of 100% foreign companies which will allow investors from around the world to move their operations to the Kingdom and benefit from its strategic location at the heart of major trade routes crossing three continents.

Quarter the time

Along with automation of most of the process of company establishment, MISA has reduced the requirements for establishment by 54%.

Now foreign companies can start operating in the Kingdom in almost 1 quarter the time needed for establishment 5 years ago.

The Premium Residency

In efforts to facilitate the establishment of foreign companies and the ownership of assets, shares and properties, the Kingdom has launched the Premium Residency Center, allowing foreigners to obtain a permanent or renewal residence after satisfying the requirements.

The Qualified Foreign Investor Program

The “Qualified Foreign Investor Program” offered by Tadawul so that foreign investors can directly access the Saudi Financial Market.

It is worth mentioning that Tadawul is the 9th biggest financial market in the world.

Industrial loans

Foreign companies, including those in Saudi Arabia, are eligible for government-supported industrial loans with up to 20 years tenure. These loans are available for companies operating in energy, logistics, mining industry, and fourth industrial revolution applications.

Reduced interest rates

With a strong direction towards privatization of government services and institutions under the umbrella of Vision2030, The Loan Program for Public/Private investment projects comes with a reduced interest rate, 4-6 years grace period and 22 to 25 years repayment options.

Sustainable Business Environment

To ensure a sustainable business environment for both local and foreign investors, the PIF has invested in a comprehensive program for enhancement and localization of supply chains to avoid delays to projects and ensure availability of materials and services at reasonable prices which will eventually unlock private sector growth.

Pre-export and post-shipment financing

Saudi Arabia also offers incentives for pre-export financing to exporters’ buyers and post-shipment financing to international buyers of Saudi goods with political and commercial risk insurance for investments and export credit guarantees.

Invest in Saudi Arabia

Finally, to make sure there is a dedicated government are to answer all the questions, share the relevant information and support international investors; the government has launched Invest Saudi which helps investors from around the world to have a smoother market entry to the Kingdom whether through its platform or the 11 centers available at the Saudi embassies around the globe.
